Brown discharge after intercourse

Hi, me and my husband have been trying to conceive for 3 years, we had a complete shock when we found out we were pregnant one month before IVF was going to begin. I am only 6 weeks and have had no blood/spotting etc. last night we had sex for the first time since we found out, and after I had some brown discharge, today I still have a light brown discharge, I am absolutely petrified. Any advice or reassurance would be great, tried to call the midwife department but they never answer or call back.

same happened to me yesterday. Which was actually red blood! Scared me so much. But today has gone. Just have slight brown discharge. I am reassured that it came from irritation of the cervix.

Yes quite normal, brown blood generally not a concern probably just a bit of old blood been dislodged, if continues speak to early pregnancy unit but it does happen

I had this around the 7 week mark, and also have after exercise. I'm now 12 weeks and hasn't happened since, my midwife said it's totally normal where your cervix is just a bit sensitive! Mine was also light brown!
Congratulations ✨
